It’s New Bot Monday! Welcome to Twiki who hails from 1979 by way of the year 2491 on the tv show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. He’s an “ambuquod” helper robot, carrying on his chest an artificial intelligence: Dr. Theopolis. Twiki is kinda funny, and was mostly voiced by Mel Blanc, famed Warner Bros cartoon actor.

New Bot Monday! This is Gir from Invader Zim. Acquired at SDCC but robot posting has been less a priority what with comics making and beach time and work and all.

I’m pretty sure this is my second medical robot, the first was Baymax. 2-1B first appeared in the Star Wars universe in The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, caring for Luke post-wampa attack and then post-Darth Vader duel. Welcome! #NewBotDay

Long time, no bot! New Bot Thursday brings us Maximilian from Disney’s film “The Black Hole” (1978). He’s silent, he’s murderous, he scared me as a kid!

NEW BOT MONDAY: Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes V. My most favorite Bot of all. ボルテス are the first Japanese ideograms I ever copied onto paper. Predates Voltron, with which it is confused, by 6 or 7 years. Famously banned by the dictatorial Marcos regime because of revolutionary ideas. Beloved by Filipinos of a certain age. Voltes V is the bot that made me fall in love with bots. Those toys are too highly priced to buy, but this one is a fine interim purchase.

This week has been rough. What better balm than new bot Friday? GoShogun (ゴーショーグン) hails from 1981 anime and film. The toy is from 1999 and I dig it.
